Can you be charged for theft by receiving when you didn't have anything in your possession ? There wasn't anything found at your place of residents nor on you ? How can you be charged with that ? Not to mention it was a warrant taken out before you was taken into custody .. & now I have charges I have no clue about .

If you've been arrested, appear when and where directed, plead NOT guilty, admit to nothing, confess to nothing, ask the judge if you qualify for a public defender, and don't say anything more about he charges, the case, the people allegedly involved.

Save all of your questions to ask your lawyer.

In the interim, break off all associations, communications, or contacts with ALL of the other people allegedly involved in this mess.

The answer your questions, is YES.
You were arrested, you have been charged, and now you wait to talk ONLY to your lawyer.

You'll learn those SPECIFICS after you've plead NOT GUILTY, assigned a attorney, who can obtain DISCOVERY; which will reveal the things that puzzle you today.

Don't they have to show evidence?

The "how" is explained by the "did."

Don't they have to show evidence?

Yes, to convict you.

"But to arrest you they only need probable cause, meaning that they must be able to point to objective circumstances leading them to believe that a suspect committed a crime. Note that probable cause may have existed at the time of an arrest even if the defendant didn't actually do anything wrong. Put differently, an arrest is valid as long as it is based on probable cause, even if the arrested person is innocent."
